"We understand the strength of the Twin Peaks brand and the markets the restaurants perform well in, and we feel that the Tampa market has tremendous and valuable growth potential," stated Coby Brooks, La Cima Restaurant, LLC, founder. "Our territory previously included Orlando, so it made sense operationally to take over the neighboring Florida market."
In 2012, La Cima opened its first Twin Peaks restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, followed by 5 additional locations in the southeast spanning 5 of its 6- state territory. In the next 8 months, the company is on schedule to open one new restaurant every month, beginning in September with the Twin Peaks in Pensacola, Florida.
Joe Hummel, La Cima's COO, stated, "Our team was assembled for fast growth and precise accurate expansion, and that is our goal. At the end of 2015 we will have designed, built, and opened 15 units in just over 3 years. This could only be accomplished by having an exceptional team and the steadfast support of corporate Front Burner Restaurants."
